6 Homebush Fox should be fitter for his fresh-up second on his home track. Has raced well both times when presented here prior. Meets an open field. 10 Thrilling Issac trialled well enough here earlier in the month before opening his campaign down the straight. Quaddie bolter.
Selections: 6-10-7-2

8 Zeus’s Magic should win this by a margin if he keeps his mind on the job but he has thrown away wins the last two times he has stepped out. Proceed with caution at the short odds.

4 Child Prodigy there was no obvious excuse for her when a $1.70 favourite at Hatrick last Friday but she has been outstanding in her two wins from as many attempts here so willing to forgive.

4 Opawa Simpson downgrades despite two creditable fourths including here on January 6 where he was a touch unlucky. 9 Lulu’s Dream returns to her favourite track but she was disappointing in her Auckland campaign. Keeping safe. Fascinating field.
